Rada claims this blade steel is T420 stainless steel it has a low carbon content i thought it would be impossible to cut 100 plus feet of measured cardboard that adds up to a lot of onions and tomatoes.There is no way Chully Budger was going to cut up onions and tomatoes for 6 months to check out the edge retention.After this ordeal i was able to cut printer paper with a bit of effort without see sawing back and forth It took me about 2 minutes on a buffing wheel to get the knife back to shaving sharp.It is possible Rada has this knife steel made up with a higher carbon content i don't know i was unable to find any info. maybe the carbon content is close or the same as 420 HC and it also could be a secret heat treatment to bring out the very best in the blade steel and then again it could be a Paul Bos heat treatment.

I have now owned this knife for about 6 months, and have used it almost daily. I expected to have to sharpen it occasionally, but have not had to yet. I have cut almost every possible food item and packaging you can think of, and it remains as sharp as the day I got it. I take no special care of it, throw it in the dishwasher after every use, and never worry about drying it before it has a chance to rust. (It has NEVER shown signs of rust at all). This is by far the best knife I have ever owned, and I would not think twice about buying another one. I have owned many knifes in my life, and this one is excellent. My next purchase will be for a set of Rada Cutlery products for my tableware.

If your cooking includes cutting up and preparing larger cuts of raw meat then you may find this knife very useful. It is extremely sharp and does hold its edge very well. They can be sharpened if needed. I use it to cut down large roasts, tenderloins, stew meat into smaller portions. The cut is quick and efficient. This blade is thinner than professional knives and by no means will replace the professional butcher knife used in meat establishments to cut into huge bodies of meat. This is a knife for home use. The metal handle is textured and allows for a good grip if your hands are wet. It is a bit shorter and straight lined than some knife handles and if you have large hands you may not be as comfortable using it. If you are not interested in investing large sums for a knife then you will find this a good value. Enjoy!

These are the best knives I have ever used, I am hooked. I replaced all my knives with these and I will never buy anything but rada. All I have left to buy now are the steak knives. Funny thing when I first got these knives for the first time, I opened the package and though great cheap knives. Then my hubby cut a piece of paper with one little swipe. I said umm lets wait and try them.

I love that they are smaller, I tell everyone they're like girl chef knives because they fit my hands perfectly. Trust me buy these knives, I tell everyone about these.

OMG is this thing sharp! I love it. I grew up with an old-hickory type carbon steel butcher knives. The do have more "heft" to them than this knife has, but this (handle AND blade) is dishwasher safe, and the upkeep is nil (other than periodic sharpening). However, this baby is sharp, great to work with...makes the old "ginsu knife" commercials look dull! LOL!

A great butcher knife. 420 HC stainless steel. My old one never rusted or corroded in any way, despite 15 years of reliable service. These knives take and hold an edge very well. I use the RADA sharpener and a ceramic rod and it gets newspaper slicing sharp in less than five minutes after cutting meat all day. Buy the RADA sharpener and the RADA R106 "Stubby Butcher Knife" with it. The "Stubby" is the best boning knife in the RADA line. You will be very satisfied with this kit for less than 30 bucks.

A friend told me about Rada a while back, and when i was shopping for a new game butchering set, i decided to build one from Rada blades. Best decision ive made in a while. these things are slick, sharp and solid quality. Requires handwashing (you should hand wash all knves) but they hold an edge very well. Purchased 4 knives and they have all been a pleasure to use.

My husband does the chopping, and he has arthritis in his hands, now. These knives are very sharp and lightweight. I have several of these knives and love the fact that they sharpen right back to original, with a few strokes on the Rada sharpener. I bought my first Rada knives at a flea market, 25+ years ago. I still have them and use them. I personally think all other knives to be inferior. My husband is now addicted as well.
